New England’s sports brotherhood runs deeper than the box score. Paul Pierce and Julian Edelman discuss a culture where Celtics, Bruins, Patriots, and Red Sox figures—and their fans—support one another across codes, from Fenway to TD Garden. The vibe isn’t just attendance; it’s mutual respect that fuels game-day energy and regional pride.

On Games with Names, Pierce recalls cross-code camaraderie that sticks with athletes, highlighting how this ecosystem keeps players connected and motivated across seasons. The takeaway for fantasy minds: a shared culture can translate into stable narratives, crowd-driven momentum, and opportunistic moments during busy years.

Colts eye six cornerbacks and a center to fill an open roster spot after Week 2, staging seven workouts including Isaiah Bolden, Tre Flowers, Keenan Garber, Daequan Hardy, Keenan Isaac, Nik Needham and Jimmy Morrissey. Injuries tighten the depth chart as Indy weighs immediate help at cornerback and an interior blocker, with Chris Lammons likely to land on the 53-man roster and a corresponding practice-squad shuffle looming.

Jaylon Jones is on IR and Charvarius Ward was in concussion protocol, underscoring why the club is expanding CB options. The workouts signal a practical, depth-focused move rather than a blockbuster signing, with the potential for one of the tested players to secure a roster spot as Indy races to bolster a vulnerable unit.

Week 3 power rankings hinge on health and explosive defenses. Philadelphia remains No. 1, while Green Bay rockets into the top three behind Jordan Love’s clean reads and a revitalized run game with Josh Jacobs. Buffalo’s two-way punch keeps them dangerous, and San Francisco claws into the top five amid injury concerns, leaning on depth to grind out wins.

Fantasy angles center on Love’s efficiency, Jacobs’ workload, Micah Parsons’ expanding snap count, James Cook’s role in Buffalo, and Mac Jones stepping in for SF. Monitor matchups and injuries as these teams push toward October with playoff ambitions.
